A new study has shown that a diet rich in beer, wine and chocolate reduces risk of dying early from heart disease by 20 percent, and from cancer by 13 percent.

The research, led by Professor Joanna Kaluza, from Poland's Warsaw University, found that people who enjoyed these treats - alongside a diet rich in fruit and vegetables - were a fifth less likely to die prematurely than those who ate a lot of red meat, drank fizzy drinks and consumed processed foods.

The study of more than 68,000 participants, all aged between 45 to 83 years old, found those who had regular diets of anti-inflammatory foods were 18 percent less likely to die over the next 16 years than those who didn't.
